SALT LAKE CITY – Redshirt senior offensive lineman Jaren Kump figures to bring valuable experience as he enters his seventh and final season with the Utah football program.
The former Herriman High School product has played 47 career games, making 29 starts. He has appeared at every position along the line, tallying 17 starts at center the past two years.
“A guy that has virtually played every position along the offensive front,” Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham remarked. “Very versatile player, and he will definitely add to our offensive line play this season.”
Kump was ranked 35th on last season’s 60 in 60 list.
